Thanks for signing -- your name has been added and will be delivered to Participants in the World Tourism Conference Zimbabwe 2013. Thanks for posting Jill & thank you Gudrun for the petition, I have signed!

TEXT:
"We request that the participants in the World Tourism Conference to take place in Zimbabwe in August 2013 boycott the conference. Human rights in Zimbabwe is at an all time low, as is their protection of the environment and wildlife. The Zimbabwe government recently exported 4 young elephants to China, using inhumane methods to transport them and complete disregard for CITES laws. One of the young elephants has died and there are allegedly more young elephants waiting to be exported. The Zimbabwe Government has a long and distasteful record with regards to it's treatment of its wildlife and its people. It is only with boycotts and sanctions from people across the world that the message of this unacceptable behaviour can be clearly communicated to them."

How sad is this - this poor baby - dear God, I don't know what you were thinking when you put China on this earth. They are a wicked, evil and cruel lot of scumbags. And as for Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe should have been executed yonks ago - he has just run that country into the ground.

There needs to be more regulations on these hideous practices. Animals need rtights, what these sob's due is unconscionable. Separating mothers and babies, putting elephants in places where they know it is a risk. Still fight ting to get Lucy out of the Edmonton Canada zoo. She is dying there there and as many celebs who have spoken for her, they won't release her. Find it on your search engine, poor Lucy. Thanks jill hope this takes.

If they would just leave the animals in their natural habitat, this death of a innocent baby would had never happened, but, of course, greed and the fulfillment of that greed is more important than ANY life. Right, Zimbabwe?!

Signed for those poor elephants. They should never have been taken from their mothers or their home. But China is to blame as well. They ordered and bought the babies. Just like they buy parts of elephants, sharks, tigers, etc.
